First and foremost, he will be missed by all of us at Carlisle Events and throughout the hobby. His sons would like to carry on with Mel's efforts and I will do whatever I can to make sure it happens. But I'm in no rush and want to give the family all the time they need right now. Whenever they are ready, they know that I'll work with them. Miss you, Mel Ed B
